Curse those corporations for forcing me to buy their product whether I
like it or not.  It's totally the corporations doing that, and not at
all a tax-which-is-sometimes-a-tax enforced by the government.  It's a
good thing we've got government elites who know what I need to buy,
though, because otherwise I might make a decision for myself on a
rational basis.
